Overview
The Amber Flame Goniopora is a radiant coral that mesmerizes with its solid, fiery orange polyps, glowing like embers in your reef aquarium. Its uniform brilliance and hypnotic polyp movement make it an irresistible choice for hobbyists looking to add warmth and vitality to their underwater environment.
Native to nutrient-rich lagoons and calm reef zones, the Amber Flame thrives in stable aquariums that replicate its natural habitat. Its bold yet elegant presence makes it a must-have for reef enthusiasts.
Care & Feeding
While the Amber Flame Goniopora is photosynthetic, supplemental feedings of small, meaty foods such as micro-plankton, reef-specific powdered foods, or finely chopped shrimp can encourage growth and amplify its vibrant coloration.
Maintaining stable calcium, magnesium, and iron levels is essential for this coral’s health and longevity. Keep nitrate and phosphate levels low to preserve its glowing orange hue and avoid unwanted algae growth.
Optimal Parameters
- Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12
- Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm
- Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm
- Iron (Fe): Regular supplementation recommended for Goniopora species
- Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm
- Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm
Placement
Place the Amber Flame Goniopora in the lower to middle sections of your aquarium, allowing enough space for its polyps to extend and sway freely. Moderate water flow is ideal to showcase its dynamic movement and maintain its delicate tissue structure.
